Back At School/Rubbermaid LunchBlox Salad Kit with 20 Lunch Ideas

I came across this little salad kit and I thought how great is that!! Amber loves salad and wouldn’t have a problem eating any of these. Oh course if you have a pickier child then suit it to what they like. Also if you are not allowed to bring nuts to school omit them and substitute something else. All of the dressings are from Kraft, so they should be easily accessible.
It has wonderful little compartments that you can put an endless variety of toppings in. Never have that same old boring salad again. I have come up with 20 different salad ideas that you could use this little container for. Of course you don’t have to use this container, others will work well too! To read the list below I have started with the name of the salad – then what goes in the large compartment/then what to fill in the small compartments/if there are four toppings the dressing goes in the large container with the salad/if there are only three the dressing or salsa can sit up top in one of the little compartments. Hope that is clear as mud. I am very sure you will figure it out!! I have used a lot of romaine but you can substitute whatever greens you like. For lettuce I find romaine stays the freshest longest!! The set comes with a convenient ice pack too and of course a lid. Get your salad on!!
